+.SH Description
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I \%nroff
+formats documents written in the
+.MR groff 7
+language for typewriter-like devices such as terminal emulators.
+.
+GNU
+.I nroff \" GNU
+emulates the AT&T
+.I nroff \" AT&T
+command using
+.MR groff 1 .
+.
+.I \%nroff
+generates output via
+.MR grotty 1 ,
+.IR groff 's
+terminal output driver,
+which needs to know the character encoding scheme used by the device.
+.
+Consequently,
+acceptable arguments to the
+.B \-T
+option are
+.BR ascii ,
+.BR latin1 ,
+.BR utf8 ,
+and
+.BR cp1047 ;
+any others are ignored.
+.
+If neither the
+.I \%GROFF_TYPESETTER
+environment variable nor the
+.B \-T
+command-line option
+(which overrides the environment variable)
+specifies a (valid) device,
+.I \%nroff
+consults the locale to select an appropriate output device.
+.
+It first tries the
+.MR locale 1
+program,
+then checks several locale-related environment variables;
+see section \[lq]Environment\[rq] below.
+.
+If all of the foregoing fail,
+.B \-Tascii
+is implied.
+.
+.
+.P
+The
+.BR \-b ,
+.BR \-c ,
+.BR \-C ,
+.BR \-d ,
+.BR \-E ,
+.BR \-i ,
+.BR \-m ,
+.BR \-M ,
+.BR \-n ,
+.BR \-o ,
+.BR \-r ,
+.BR \-U ,
+.BR \-w ,
+.BR \-W ,
+and
+.B \-z
+options have the effects described in
+.MR \%troff 1 .
+.
+.B \-c
+and
+.B \-h
+imply
+.RB \[lq] \-P\-c \[rq]
+and
+.RB \[lq] \-P\-h \[rq],
+respectively;
+.B \-c
+is also interpreted directly by
+.IR \%troff .
+.
+In addition,
+this implementation ignores the AT&T
+.I nroff \" AT&T
+options
+.BR \-e ,
+.BR \-q ,
+and
+.B \-s
+(which are not implemented in
+.IR groff ).
+.
+The options
+.BR \-k ,
+.BR \-K ,
+.BR \-p ,
+.BR \-P ,
+.BR \-R ,
+.BR \-t ,
+and
+.B \-S
+are documented in
+.MR groff 1 .
+.
+.B \-V
+causes
+.I \%nroff
+to display the constructed
+.I groff
+command on the standard output stream,
+but does not execute it.
+.
+.B \-v
+and
+.B \-\-version
+show version information about
+.I \%nroff
+and the programs it runs,
+while
+.B \-\-help
+displays a usage message;
+all exit afterward.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH "Exit status"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+.I \%nroff
+exits with error
+.RB status\~ 2
+if there was a problem parsing its arguments,
+with
+.RB status\~ 0
+if any of the options
+.BR \-V ,
+.BR \-v ,
+.BR \-\-version ,
+or
+.B \-\-help
+were specified,
+and with the status of
+.I groff
+otherwise.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH Environment
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Normally,
+the path separator in environment variables ending with
+.I PATH
+is the colon;
+this may vary depending on the operating system.
+.
+For example,
+Windows uses a semicolon instead.
+.
+.
+.TP
+.I GROFF_BIN_PATH
+is a colon-separated list of directories in which to search for the
+.I groff
+executable before searching in
+.IR PATH .
+.
+If unset,
+.I /usr/\:\%bin
+is used.
+.
+.
+.TP
+.I GROFF_TYPESETTER
+specifies the default output device for
+.IR groff .
+.
+.

+.TQ
+.I LC_CTYPE
+.TQ

+.TQ
+.I LESSCHARSET
+are pattern-matched in this order for contents matching standard
